Along side the old application, we have uploaded the new faster application for Windows (6.01) and Linux (6.02). GDF.

Hi, we have problem with new app.

Host: http://www.gpugrid.net/hosts_user.php?userid=38072

OS: Ubuntu 9.10 64bit
BM 6.10.17
driver: 195.22

new WUs runs for 38hrs!!! and progress is 87%

Is it normal? I think, no.

Thanks for reply.

Progress of all Wus is here: http://stats.czechnationalteam.cz/index.php?akce=teampc2

I have the same problem with the new app. After a half day the progress is only 14% => I aborted the
Task

OS: Debian GNU Linux (Squeeze)
BM: 6.10.17
driver: 190.53

New application v6.02 runs about 60% slower

WU: 195-GIANNI_BIND_166_119-73-100-RND1057 Task ID: 1842880

This WU took about 25.06 hours to successfully complete. Normally GIANNI_BIND type WU's consistantly take 14.6 hours to finish.

Platform: Fedora 11, Client 6.10.17, GTS-250, nvdriver 190.53, AMD Phenom II 945 x4, 4GB ram and lots of drive space.

Observations: GPU normally runs 60-63 degrees C but with this app, temps are 39 C. The CPU cores concurrently run WCG WU's. I freed one CPU core and that appeared to speed the above GPU WU progress rate but the one in progress now (126-GIANNI_BIND_166_119-78-100-RND6037_1 Task ID: 1157945) is progressing very slowly (4.75 hors and 4.7% complete). In fact, it appears the driver has been switched from 3D to 2D mode.

I have unchecked the ACEMD ver 2.0 in my preferences until the issue is resolved.

I have removed the Linux application.

Same problem on Windows 64. Just finished a workunit (1159133) and it took 172,905.55s (about 48h).
A previous one (1158551) took 24,889.70 s and old units running v6.71 usually take between 65000 and 75000 s (for similar credits, less foe lower credit units)

OS: Vista Ultimate 64Bit SP2
Driver 196.34

I also had to abort the unit on Linux, because I could not meet the deadline. 1%/hour on my 9800 GTX+.

Same extended time problem with Windows 32-bit Vista.

Well I've got one Achmed (the dead terrorist) WU that I'm gonna let finish as it's 103 hours into it with 10 hours left. No premature detonation here.

Don't suppose u wanna slip me a little credit under the table for the 100+ hours in aborted Achmeds ;-)

On the 103 hour (so far) WU, it had dropped out of clocking mode 2 (performance) down to one of the lower 2D modes... but this might just be coincidental.

I have no problems on my computer, with this application, so far. I am running Windows XP 32 bit. But it is not 60% faster, my results are only about 30% to 45% faster.

6.04 Linux looks very good

Yeah some for me.
Anyway it is a great improvement !

BUT, in my case (Gentoo 64b), the 6.04 perform less well as the 6.02

6.02: GPU Time = 15,672.34; CPU Time = 1,050.29
6.04: GPU Time = 16,304.57; CPU Time = 16,284.93

GPU Time is okay, just a bit longer, but CPU Time...damn...

If there is a problem of CPU priority, may be a cc_config can resolve the problem (As I did with Collatz)

Due to the fact that the same synchronization mode of Windows does not work for all Linux flavors, we needed to use the other option. Now, for Linux only,
we have used the other synchronization mode which should use 100% if there is nothing else running but release to other applications if they are computing.

I've got an Achmed 6.04 running on primary Desktop machine now. It's running on a GTX-275. Just under 3 hours into it and it's at almost 25% so looking like a 12 hour WU. Much better. Thank you for the fast turn around on this.

Ubuntu v9.10, 64b, NVIDIA 190.53 driver (dual card machine with a GTS-250 in the other slot running a Full Atom-The-Ant WU).

Only errrors with new application!

Maybe this application is fast, but not stable. Have stopped now crunching because my GTX295 and also one of my GTX260 are crashing over and over in the last days and I prefer to use my server without have it to reboot often a day. If it was only one card that crashed, I would think, it's the card. But 2 PCs since using the new application looks more like the application is the cause.

You can now choose to only run the old (or the new) application (Your account->gpugrid preferences), if you want to check.

The problem is not the application but your machine. It crashes on old and new applications. The new application is as reliable as the previous one.

Kokomiko,
3 of your systems are in good shape, but your Phenom 9850 with the GTX 260 and running Vista Ultimate SP2 is a problem system.
If you want to try to use it, start by installing the newer drivers and the newest version of Boinc.
You are using Boinc 6.6.28 on that system. You could be using the Boinc 64bit application version on that system (either 6.10.18 or the beta 6.10.32) and newer drivers:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php
I expect you have not updated your drivers since you had the GTX280 installed!
This might be the source of your problems. Make sure you restart twice after installing the new drivers.

IMHO, this runs fantastic on XP 32. I see an increase of approximately 50%, and with my 8800 GTX, I can actually hope to return WU's without leaving my computer on for 6 or more hours a day.

The most recent work unit I received is not this application. Is this application still being sent out?
